We worked with Keith for our first look shoot (2 days before the wedding) and for our wedding. We couldn’t be happier with how the photos came out and the experience as a whole. He uses creative angles, lighting, and selective focus to add tons of depth to his images. We were very impressed with how he could create something unique from what, in the moment, might have felt like a relatively ordinary setting. He’s fun, adventurous, easygoing, yet still very professional. He is easy to communicate with through text, email and in person. He offers great suggestions for time of day and locations. Plus, all the photos are so good! If you are attracted to his work, don’t have any hesitations about booking him. HIGHLY recommend Keith!
Keith did an amazing job shooting my wedding in Kauai. He had lots of great suggestions for fun, artistic shots he wanted to capture, which was perfect since my wife and I aren't big on taking pics in the first place - his expertise was definitely appreciated.
Keith is also really good at being nonintrusive while still managing to capture awesome photos. He was very respectful of our time while we chatted with our guests, and would also pop in throughout the night with shot suggestions based on the lighting as the sun set. Best part, he got us our wedding photos pretty quickly, within about 3 weeks, and they turned out fantastic.
Can't recommend him highly enough, thanks Keith!
Our wedding planner suggested Keith on a list of preferred vendors she works with. After visiting his website and instantly falling in love with his work, deciding to work with Keith for our destination wedding was a no-brainer. From the moment he arrived on site, he had my (now) husband and I relaxed and so excited for the big day ahead. My husband is not a fan of getting his picture taken, but Keith made it such an enjoyable and fun experience for both of us. We didn't have to try - he just captured the magic and beauty of our perfect day. The pictures turned out far more beautiful than we could have ever imagined, and he had a sneak peek back to us within a few weeks. We are so grateful to have such amazing photos to remind us of our wedding, forever. Your search for THE best photographer on the incredible island of Kauai ends with Keith!
Keith is the best wedding photographer. You will not be disappointed as he goes the extra mile to get the shots you want.
Keith photographed our wedding in Kauai, Feb 28th 2018. The weather was a bit dreary and it had started to rain. He was able to recommend a back up location for the ceremony that was absolutely perfect and out of the bad weather. You would've never known he was there as he was completely out of the way during the ceremony, but captured the most beautiful photos of us and my children. He was able to capture every special moment and facial expression while keeping the photos so artistic. He has an incredibly artistic eye. As an artist myself, I am super picky, but he did not disappoint! He was able to take a rainy day and make it look bright and airy! He was punctual, laid back and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera during the more "staged" photos. His editing time was speedy. I was incredibly happy with his work. He is the definition of a true professional photographer! I would highly recommend him for your photography needs! He is a pleasure to work with!
